Ugandan Children's Choir

If you missed Thursday's show (July 10th), you missed something rare and special...the Ugandan
Children's Choir. Well, actually, only 5 members of the 26 who have travelled to Georgia for an extensive tour. Gilead Baptist Church, in Griffin, Georgia, has taken on the job of hosting and organizing the choir's tour. It's goal? To raise money for the Royal School and Orphanage, in Uganda...and its plans for a new building that would house 400 students. Many who toured come from humble beginnings but you'd never know it by their smiles. And they sang beautifully!
If you'd like to know more or want to contribute to this great cause, go to www.suubi.info to get the story. "Suubi" is a Lugandan word meaning 'hope' and the children certainly reflected it.
